This issue will be shipped in a sleeve with backing board in a top loader for extra extra protection.See Photos, Grading Chart and Price Guide Below... BE AWARE Some sellers are claiming higher grades in order to dupe buyers into paying more money! Seriously, if a page is missing from inside a comic book AND there is restoration it is not NM or better even if it appears to be! All major industry sources on the Internet agree that incomplete is incomplete and should rate the low grade (Poor .5). Think about it. If anything one ever buys is incomplete does it really have any value? Another issue that needs to be addressed is using the " Qualified Grade" for other defects such as water damage. Buyers, please read your condition charts and please note that a seller should not state that the comic IS a certain grade through exclusion of reality. One can say that a comic appears to be better but the true grade must be stated and the pricing should be according to the true grade not the wishful grade. Also, please note that for a comic book to have investment value after restoration it must be professionally done with a certificate from the restoration company. There are many sellers doing it themselves and then asking high grade prices for comic books that should not have been repaired unprofessionally. Buyers should also be wary about blurry pictures and pictures of expensive comics in a comic sleeve with no out of sleeve pictures. There is no way to tell the condition of a comic when it is covered up. COMBINED SHIPPING We combine shipping on multiple auctions to help you save on postage. Please contact us for shipping costs.
